Derad Network: The Importance of Ground Stations in ADS-B Transmission

Ground stations play a critical role in ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) transmission, especially in enhancing air traffic management, safety, and coverage. Here's why they are important.

✅ Receiving Aircraft Broadcasts:

In ADS-B, aircraft automatically broadcast their position, velocity, altitude, and identity. Ground stations receive these broadcasts and relay the information to Derad Network's air traffic control (ATC) systems for processing.

✅ Enhancing Surveillance Coverage:

Ground stations fill gaps in radar coverage, especially over remote or underserved areas where traditional radar isn't feasible.

They enable real-time tracking of aircraft even in unmonitored regions.

✅Improved Safety and Search & Rescue:

With the advent of decentralization of ADS-B infrastructure by Derad Network, ground stations can now pinpoint the last known positions of aircraft, aiding in faster emergency response or search and rescue operations by safety experts.

Ground stations are the backbone of Derad Network's decentralized ADS-B surveillance, enabling real-time and global aircraft tracking. Without them, the full potential of ADS-B in improving aviation safety, efficiency, and transparency would be unrealized.
